GT: New Jersey Nets vs. Atlanta Hawks

[Boomdog]

How have Brook's buckets come? Dunks, layups, and putbacks? Or is he actually using post moves?

All of the above.

Playing real good Def. as well. Completely dominating the Hawks bigs.

Only knock I have had on him this game, and all the games hes played so far is he looks around too much before making his move. Yeah it's good to look for an open man, but if your hot, go for it Brook!

 

[Boomdog]

Ryan Anderson is lighting it up!

 

[Carter15Nets]

ryan anderson is the man

gonna be a good solid player for years to come

 

[PsychoNetsFan34]

Devin Harris the one legged man!!

I think boone has lost his starting spot.

This should be the case, and is obvious to most of us, but remember their coach is one stubborn little Keebler elf. He plays by his own rules, in spite of all evidence to the contrary.

 

[Dark Defender]

One game does not mean Boone will lose his spot.

Brook will have to earn his minutes now more than ever, he just raised the bar. Good for him but I still believe Boone will and should (for now) start.

Sean Williams is the new Hassan Adams.

We can't trade energy.

 

[Boomdog]

Carter is chucking and getting burnt on def.

 

[GMJ]

damn Sean is excited. If only he could translate that into his play on the floor.

That's Vince Carter for you. Always settling for those jumpers

Now do you guys see why I love this Brook Lopez guy ?

It took this long for our coach to figure out he is better than Boone.

 

[Accelerate]

JiffyLube! Wee!
Brook's a board away from a double-double.
Exciting game.

 

[Accelerate]

Carter with the dagger.

 

[footswalker]

awesome non-chalant 1-handed catch by Vince. Are you kidding Vince?

 

[Netsfan318]

Brook Lopez = Tim Duncan Jr. (I said it since draft day and still say it tonight !)

 

[footswalker]

Just a bone-headed rookie mistake from Vince right there.

 

[Belarus]

WOW what a win! Lopez, Harris, Carter in the 4th were all spectacular!

 

[Universe]

We had the perfect rotation of players tonight. Maybe include Hassell once in awhile and you have the perfect mix.

I know, but who says Frank has it figured out yet though? We know he plays favorites. Posters on here are saying you can't let a guy lose his job when he's hurt. Why the hell not? If a guy is this much better, he has to play. Boone is a liability at the line, and Lopez finishes at the rim so much better than him, plus he actually has posts moves. Real post moves. Start him!

 

[ToddMacCulloch11]

25 points, 9 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals, 4 blocks for Lopez. What an awesome game.

 

[Belarus]

Oh, and I absolutely love Ryan Anderson!!

 

[User01]

25 points, 9 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals, 4 blocks for Lopez. What an awesome game.

only 2 fouls and 0 turnovers too.

 

[SUPERB]

in a way i wanted us to lose this game. we would be better off in the long run with frank gone!

 

[nets1]

and all the draft idiots said he would be too slow and not strong enough for the nba. His brother will never have a game like this. We got the better twin once again. Way to go nets, 49 more to go

Only a coach like Lawrence Frank will bench a guy who scores 20+ points, grabs 8+ boards and blocks 3+ shots in his first career start for a inconsistent backup center at best.

 

[Accelerate]

Only 6 total team turnovers, too.

 

[PsychoNetsFan34]

Great win but this is a weird game, especially to figure out a rotation. Yi didnt get big minutes, neither did Simmons. And with Boone and Najera out Frank is going to have to decide now what he wants to do. The changes I would make are putting Anderson in over Najera and only using Najera when Anderson is off or is having trouble on the defensive end. And I think if Brook plays well while Boone is out, then Brook must stay the starter theirs not doubt about it. I'm a Frank fan but if he goes back to the same old rotation after a game like this I will change my opinion.

It's really not a coincidence that they had their most impressive win (yes, even more than Detroit) with Najera and Boone not in there, and guys like Lopez, Williams, and Anderson getting their minutes.
